The Soldiers Monument Commission was
hardly appointed before some person alta cked
the idea of spending 5000, 900 for mere work
of art, and suggested that the best disposition
of the money would be the erection of SOL
diers home, where needy old veterans could be
made comfortable. This suggestion seemed to
have in it an element of the utiitaran and of
to some, and it was adopted and repeated by
a number of papers throughout the State. In
reality, it is not entitled to serious consider
alton. Besides, the legal conditions under
which the commission are acting and which
require them to erect monument, and not
home, one of its members very forcibly
suggests that while home would doubtless
be of some and value for few years, the
time would soon come when its usefulness in
harboring old soldiers would be gone, with the
rapid fading away of the veterans. Fifty
years hence there will hardly be man living
who served in the civil war. The old soldiers
will all be gone. By that time, if not before,
a soldiers home would be practically useless
have become an old structure, falling into
neglect and decay, and, perhaps a home for rats,
as the old Governors residence in the Circle
for years before it was finally torn down.
The thing for the commission to do. and that
which the law contemplates and requires, is
to provide for the erection of a monument
which shall perpetuate the memory of Indi-
ana's soldiers in future generations and
centuries. This means work of art in which
the utlitarian idea shall have no place. which
shall be in itself study and story to COM
ing generations, and make posterity proud of
those who reared it as of those for whom it
was reared Such a work rightly conceived
and executed will be glory to the State for
all time to come, an educator in art and an
object-lesson in patriotism, lasting and
benefcent in its influence as the best of our
colleges.

CONCERNING MoNoPoLIEs.

Noticing the formation of envelope

name for financial combine, the News says:
'Thus we have another illustration of the
beauties of competition, which it is insisted
upon so vehemently prevails in this country.
Some day the people will get tired of it and
monopolies will have to go. But How
long, oh Lord how longq'" A good while;
not until the natural laws of business and of
human nature are changed and the currents
of trade are made to run up hill. 1t is neither
right nor safe to inculcate the idea that every
aggregation of brains and capital which any
demagogue or anarchist may choose to style
monopoly is public enemy. Every so-called
monopoly in this country is simply an aggre-
cation of brains and capital. So far as the
laws of the land or the laws of business are
concerned two men may form a monop-
oily as well as Goethe only differ
ence is in the amount Of brains and cap
ital invested. In other words, there is no such
thing as monopoly except far as big
combination may absorb or crush out the lit
tie ones. IhlS is a law Oh trade as We'll as OF
human nature. It cannot be prevented and
ought not to be. It is natural law of bust
ness the law of the survival of the fittest.
Legislation can no more change it than it
could change the law of gravitation. When
we begin to define by law what constitutes
dangerous monopoly we should also define
how much wealth a man may possess, how
sell in year, and the highest circua-
ton that any paper may have. All
these things, like thousand others, includ
ing socalled monopolies, regulate themselves
under the natural laws Of trade, and cannot
be regulated any other way. Every individual
strives to make his own business, whatever it
may be, to all intents and purposes monop-
oly-that is, he tries to run out competition.
A morning newspaper will not have competi-
ton if it can help it, and even evening news
papers fight to maintain a monopoly of their
field The only limitation in any business is
that of capital ard brains, and any suggestion
to regulate the accumulation or combination
of these by law raises host of serious diff
culties. The clamor against so-called monop-
olies is senseless and demagogical. Regarding
them simply natural aggregations of brains
and capital we say they never be pre-
vented in free country, and never ought to be
